Route 66 Auto Museum — Attraction in Santa Rosa

Total waste of time. I planned a trip here three different times and arranged my travel schedule to experience the museum. They are never there! Its never open! There is no phone number listed or on their website to check hours and availability,so its more like somebody's part time hobby than a real museum. I really wanted to like this place and get to know the town of Tucumcari,but after driving around a little,I just can’t see going back.The town had tried a few years back to embrace their Route 66 heritage and history (of which the museum may have had a part,but who knows), but now the restoration of the historic buildings,shops and main street looks more like a series of hourly motels and crumbling ruins-type abandoned gas stations and truck stops. No way I’m going to spend time and money here when they seem to have given up even pretending to care...

Neat little place. A good stop if anything just to stretch the legs, but there are some vehicles in this museum that are pretty insane! I think they said they've been at this now for about 24 years. $5 per person, no price break for kids. Lots of Route 66 trinkets for you to buy as well. There is an old wrecker type of vehicle in the parking lot below the yellow car sign that looks like Mater from Cars, so of course we had to get the obligatory family picture there 😂. Not sure how frequently they rotate the cars through that place, although there is a small fortune of vehicles in that place, most of which are for sale anywhere from $20,000 to $150,000, so bring your checkbook! If money was no object I would have purchased the green Buick in a heartbeat. The centennial of route 66 is coming up, and I know this place is probably gearing...

Route 66 Auto Museum- Santa Rosa, NM- This is the best quality auto museum on the route. They have Museum quality autos, motorcycles, and memorabilia. They have a wide variety of Stuff, everything you can imagine. An Edsel with a front bucket scoop. If you can think of something more different than that…. They were very nice people too, price was decent, and self guided walk through. I know we met some cool Canadians… swapped picture taking with them. I highly recommend this route66 stop.
